Kicking off on 20 October, The National Youth League 2012/13 season will see a full home and away season played over 18 Rounds.

The National Youth League-s continued success has seen an ever increasing number of players progressing to the Hyundai A-League and other international domestic leagues.

As another level to FFA-s National Strategic Framework, the National Youth League puts a major focus on the development of players to progress seamlessly from to the Hyundai A-League and Australian national teams.
